data expensive

Anonymous

I have only 1 gig of data, I pay £32 a month which I think is expensive for just 1 gig of data considering I use only 20 texts a month and maybe 30/60mins talk time.
I called customer services to see if I could have a gig added on, however I refuse to pay the extortionate rate of £5 per gig while other providers charge nothing and even give unlimited data.
there was nothing they could do, they couldnt reduce my smins and texts, all they could do was add data amd charge me.

yes yes I know your gonna say that I agreed to this when I took put the contract, well I was desperate cause I had my phone stolen so more fool me.
truth is they could easily add it on as a gesture of me being a customer like vurgin did when I was with them, they added 5 gig and it cost me an extra £ 2 the month...
Fact o2 is overpriced
Fact im going elsewhere in June.

Hi.


Data is the most expensive part of what O2 offer in your allowance.

In many cases we all could do with more.

I use around 1gb a month on pay as you go go go 20 and switch to wifi when I can.

The likes of gift gaff offer unlimited data on £12 goody bags but in my own personal experience the internet speeds and drop outs outweigh the data offered. 😞

Have you looked at the 4g tariffs where more data is on offer , which can be used on 3G too so you don't need to be in a 4g city.

Hope you are feeling much better now and maybe next time you will do your research first wink
BTW I get 8Gb for half of what you are paying from O2 so you need to check your facts.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

I've got 750mb and I use it when I'm out but use wifi the rest of the time.  I've also turned off automatic updates which has saved my data - I now make sure I only do updates when I'm connected to wifi.

The best way to go Tracey.

As a payg customer I'd be happy to have a tariff with 2 or 3gb included ,and happily pay for it instead of using bolt on's.

Happy days.
